New Ford Owners Club General Meet - Good Idea or Not?

[Steve]

Morning Guys and Gals.

We have been considering a new General Meet with FOC members only to all meet up around early Autumn or next spring at the British Motor Museum at Gaydon nr Warwickshire.

One good thing about this location is that is a doddle to get to, no silly queues, plus a museum to look around and refreshments and great massive car park. The museum are also welcoming for us to visit them around September.

We are not looking at just classic or modded cars, this meet is for ANY FORD. It's all about the members!

So the question is would you consider attending? We just need to know whether this has legs or not.

Please vote above (need to be signed in) and/or  make suggestions below please.

 

thanks!!!

on another note, we realise that Warwickshire may be too far for our northern members. SO we are also considering a northern meet as well. Suggestions on a postcard chaps 😄

It's too far for me as an EA member as well lol.  I don't think a whole country meet will work tbh.  It's a shame there isn't more interest in local meets on here though.

And a lot less hassle.

Gaydon location is ideal for those between london and birmingham. It doesnt matter if there are 4 meets scattered around the country. If it makes it possible to attend something more nearer to them.

Ford Fair drag people from everywhere, although we are not trying to be like them. FOC needs a set of annual meets that are easy to access, everyone gets to meet each other etc.

The Ford Mondeo Owners Club used to attract a huge following from all over the country to shows at Wicksteed Park some years ago so it can be done,Gaydon is a superb site,we did attend what should have been & was billed as a huge show there July 2017 for what was the Ford Mondeo 25th Anniversary,sadly the turn out was poor but that had more to do with personal grudges rather than location IMO.

It has probably already been considered by you guys but would combining such a meet with an existing show work,if you are thinking of a number of regional meets,wouldn't for example,the Ford Show at Blackpool in September be a decent location,great show,plenty to do if you get bored of Blue Ovals,probably too late for this year though.
